1. In a combined E/C (Esterel-C) language compiler product for a computer system, said combined E/C language compiler comprising an Esterel computer language, an Esterel compiler, and a C compiler, a method of compiling of an E/C source code using said combined E/C compiler product, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) parsing a plurality of statements of said E/C source code;
(b) splitting said E/C source code into a plurality of sets of code statements, each said set comprising a plurality of code statements compilable by one said compiler; and
(c) compiling each said set of code statements.

Abstract
A combined language-compiler that provides for the efficient compilation process of hybrid computer code written using a plurality of computer languages by splitting the hybrid code in such a way that each code statement is optimally independently compilable. The designer specifies both computation and communication between different hybrid code modules.
